Photo: A turkey decoy sits in a Radio Flyer wagon. The wagon is parked in the free-throw lane of an outdoor basketball court. There is, predictably, a basketball backboard with a hoop with a net on a stand. There is a basketball on the grass beyond the court. There is a line of trees across a one lane street.
The Radio Flyer wagon is in its original red (with black tires on white wheels with red hubs); the rest of the photo was de-saturated after the fact.

1) I did not put the turkey in the wagon.
2) I did not put the wagon in the free-throw lane of the basketball court.
I just pushed a button on the camera. (Although certain liberties were taken after the fact.)

Photo: Tim holds a sign depicting the White House with Nazi flags hanging in front of its front porch. It reads (in all caps) "Evict the Fascist."

Photo: Three women stand on a narrow strip of sidewalk that separates the righthand-turn lane from the through lanes of westbound 135th Street on the northeast corner of its intersection with State Line Road in Martin City, Missouri, on 14 October 2025.
L-TO-R
One holds a bright green, hand-made side reading, "Gerrymandering is code for CHEATING."
Another holds a hand-lettered cardboard sign reading, "FUCK TRUMP."
The third holds a home-made sign constructed of several pieces of white poster board arranged vertically to accommodate the message (in all caps): "Our Democracy VS. Billionaire Plutocracy / Honk for Democracy."
On the sidewalk along State Line Road behind them are several  more demonstrators, just beyond the depth of field in the photograph. One sign is legible and appears to read (in all caps), "The 1770s all over again / No Kings."
A car heading west passes in front of them. Two cars turning right pass behind them. All lanes of State Line Road behind them are filled with cars and trucks waiting for the light to change.
The sidewalk where they stand is overgrown with weeds. An orange fire plug stands vigil behind them on the curb in the grass next to the road.
